Best OS for programmers
What do you like best about the product?
I have two laptops, one on Windows and another on Ubuntu.
My favourite would be the latter, because not only is it open-source, lighter and faster; it is the BEST OS for development and programming and also for any kind of data science analyses because of high compatibility with software and dependencies. The cherry on top is the fact that it is more secure than other more widely used OS and more immune to hacks and viruses, thanks to the way it is built. It also comes with pre-installed software so we don't have to download everything separately.

What do you dislike about the product?
It is not as user friendly as Windows unfortunately and the learning curve is steeper for not so tech savvy users. Although this can be overcome through educating oneself by watching tutorials. Once the learning curve is crossed, it is the best OS to use overall.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Ubuntu to develop software, write code and also run bioinformatics analyses in the command line for various studies involving disease, systems biology, proteomics and genetics. I like that all the software, dependencies I need are supported by Ubuntu. I use several programming languages for coding in Ubuntu and the IDEs for all of them are supported. Currently the project I am working on is finding novel therapeutics for thrombosis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would 100% recommend Ubuntu for all new users, especially programmers. I would advise to watch a few YouTube tutorials so that you can get the hang of using Ubuntu and the commandline :)

Ubuntu - a good OS but shadowed by centos in production
What do you like best about the product?
Ubuntu is simplicity redefined. Super easy to get started with.
Ubuntu is good for small dev environments as well as for general purpose daily use as it has a smashing UI and very complete features as compared to CentOS - my other primary OS but unfortunately this does not translate well to other usages such as production environments.

What do you dislike about the product?
While documentation is complete, the package manager is not very straightforward when automation is needed.
There are other limitations as well such as we often are unable to get some specific package installed or there is some weird dependency required which cannot be directly installed. I find that centos handles this beautifully and there are fewer hiccups there. It may be my personal bad experience or some very specific and weird scenario but I find that centos is a better competitor for production environments which is probably validated by its wide industrial use.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ubuntu has been a staple in my life for a very long time. I've used it in dev environments as well as a daily driver OS and I am in awe of its completeness and feature rich presentation. I have mostly used it for its powerful command line but it has a very good set of components that make it extremely valuable.

Ubuntu server is opensource and it is lightweight as well as it has user-friendly command options.

Version upgrade options coming too fast. Its needs to be more stable.

I can easily run my PHP, python, and java projects on the ubuntu server easily. But it was much harder and not user friendly in many paid server also.
Perfect Linux Server for production environment
What do you like best about the product?
While Window is not a best and popular operating system but in server community we can strongly rely on Ubuntu Server because of security and network setting. We can design our own server in ubuntu where we can configure service , web server and Database server. Sometime we are face some confidential issue regarding security so in that case ubuntu server has capability to provide security with help of different kind of packages
Online help in easy to find the package of any configuration or setup.
Ubuntu is easy to find new and straightforward update , especially for LTS.
Easy to manage the update -getting very frequently new updates and patches
Easy to mange through CLI or GUI and last number of software and tool available who help to overcome the problems or you can use it

What do you dislike about the product?
In my case is not easy to use for everyone ,i feel its very complicated to configure and setup the thing, but i never feel comfortable with ubuntu server.
Its very hard to install Other software and latest packages of ubuntu and configuration like samba server, configuration backup server.
If we compare with window server there is also available a lot of feature and provide more supportive GUI to reduce the time to configure backup, local or web server but i feel window server is not secure as compare to ubuntu that way i prefer to configure ubuntu for large or small organization.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please choose latest release version and make sure that version is according to your needs if you are new better get old version so you will get a lot of help.
Best Free OS with really BIG community
What do you like best about the product?
Free software with a very big community will be helpful, you face the problem somebody out there has faced the problem, do not face a problem with popular app/software.
What do you dislike about the product?
don't trust the newest version in my experience we have always face a big problem such as a blank screen, that is normal because ubuntu is not an exclusive OS to the particular device so much porting needs to be done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
fast os, safer system for deploying tech to the public, support from another big app/software company
Recommendations to others considering the product:
if you are a developer need something free and fast, I think ubuntu is cover so much edge in software development if you want something much simpler go Mac instead. Do you hate terminal? if you nerd you don't just try it and trial and error.
Stable system with an abundance of documentation
What do you like best about the product?
I love the fact that there is so much documentation for this solution. I can search forums or just Google key words and find an abundance of data at my fingertips. Most of the community is very skilled and intelligent, if there is a current solution (usually there is) you can bet that between us we can come up with one. The community support if phenomenal! Also, being able to force changes via the Terminal is another huge bonus! Unlike Mac or Windows that gives you varying levels of control. Ubuntu gives you full access to implement changes as needed!
What do you dislike about the product?
3rd Party software support is somewhat lacking for Ubuntu Server. There were a few great security type software that I found were not compatible with Linux systems
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating and managing multiple Ubuntu VMs
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure and do your research before you start as it will help immensely during configuration and deployment
The Ultimate OS
What do you like best about the product?
The interface it's simple and more reliable. The security of Ubuntu Linux is a major attraction each and every update or an installation is verified by user authentication.
This makes the OS more secure and it's also light weight.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the OS becomes unsatble or become slow and some user interaction tools become invisible if updates are not insatll9on a timely manner.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Since most of the tools are prebuilt in there is no need to install a software additionally, only if the system prompts to download.
We use Ubuntu to monitor nertsork traffic and is also used as serverside OS since it has more tools in builts to manage network breakdowns and it can be fixed without human interference.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are first time user consider ubuntu to be dual boot because it can be a bit difficult for traditional windows OS users, once familiar you can consider full time using Ubuntu OS
Ubuntu for desktop has improved alot over the years providing optimum performance.
What do you like best about the product?
Best part of the os is its lightweight. Supported by a huge community. Very minimal Dependency issues with respect to software support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ubuntu Desktop still need more work with regard to support for software driver(GUI).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Software development.
Ease of finding depending libraries.
